Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed:
1. A system for engagement of electronic components with eyewear, comprising:
one or a plurality of rails engaged with a frame of said eyewear, said frame extending between engagements at a respective first and second end of said frame, with a strap or temple;
one or a plurality of electronic components each having a complimentary engagement component to said rail, whereby one or a plurality of said electronic components may be engaged with a said rail, and adjusted to a position thereon in between said first end and said second of said frame, once engaged.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein said electronic components are from a group including antennas, illumination components, supplemental power components, and electronic video capture and transmission components.
3. The system of claim 2 wherein said frame is a goggle frame surrounding a periphery edge of a lens; and
said one or plurality of rails are engaged with said goggle frame adjacent to said peripheral edge.
4. The system of claim 2 wherein said frame is a bridge of eyeglasses; and
said bridge engaged along a lower edge with a shield lens or with eyeglass lenses.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein said frame is a goggle frame surrounding a peripheral edge of a lens; and
said one or plurality of rails are engaged with said goggle frame adjacent to said peripheral edge.
6. The system of claim 5 wherein said one or plurality of rails have ridges formed thereon; and
said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary to said ridges.
7. The system of claim 5 wherein said one or plurality of rails have are formed in the shape of an I-beam; and
said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary to said I-beam shape and is slidably engageable thereon.
8. The system of claim 5 wherein said one or plurality of rails have are formed as a slot depending into said frame; and
said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary a shape of said slot, and is slidably engageable therein.
9. The system of claim 1 wherein said frame is a bridge of eyeglasses; and
said bridge engaged along a lower edge with a shield lens or with eyeglass lenses.
10. The system of claim 9 wherein said one or plurality of rails have ridges formed thereon; and
said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary to said ridges.
11. The system of claim 9 wherein said one or plurality of rails have are formed in the shape of an I-beam; and
said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary to said I-beam shape and is slidably engageable thereon.
12. The system of claim 9 wherein said one or plurality of rails have are formed as a slot depending into said frame; and
said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary a shape of said slot, and is slidably engageable therein.
13. The system of claim 1 wherein said one or plurality of rails have ridges formed thereon; and
said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary to said ridges.
14. The system of claim 1 wherein said one or plurality of rails have are formed in the shape of an I-beam; and
said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary to said I-beam shape and is slidably engageable thereon.
15. The system of claim 1 wherein said one or plurality of rails have are formed as a slot depending into said frame; and
said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary a shape of said slot, and is slidably engageable therein.Cited by (0)
